Luca Di Stefano

Luca Di Stefano is a Post-Doc Researcher at Technische Universität Wien (TU Wien) since March 2024. His research focuses on the specification and verification of complex collective systems like multi-agent systems and robot swarms, using formal methods such as model checking and reactive synthesis. He works on online formal techniques including runtime monitoring.

Research Interests:

• Software verification
• Model checking
• Multi-agent systems
• Formal semantics
• Process calculi
• Reactive synthesis
• Static analysis

Recent Article Trends: His work spans formal verification of reconfigurable systems, emergent behavior in collective systems, and synthesis techniques for infinite-state models. Keywords include Agent-Based Modelling, Formal Methods, Temporal Logic, and Runtime Monitoring.

Thesis Supervision: He supervises BSc and MSc theses at TU Wien, with Ezio Bartocci as main advisor. Examples include "Type checking a novel language for reconfigurable multi-agent systems" (Benjamin Stolz, 2025) and "Evaluating in-memory caching strategies" (Love Lyckaro, 2023).

Teaching: He teaches courses like "Scientific Research and Writing" and "GPU Architectures and Computing" at TU Wien, and has served as teaching assistant for concurrent programming courses at University of Gothenburg and Chalmers.

Labs & Projects: He contributes to tools like LAbS (attribute-based stigmergy language), SLiVER (verification tool), R-CHECK (model checking for reconfigurable systems), sweap (symbolic reactive synthesis), and pyxmv (Python interface for nuXmv).
